The future for The Amazing Race Australia is unclear following Sevenís 2013 Programming launch in Sydney on Tuesday.

The show didnít rate a mention in Sevenís Press Release despite the fact it has attracted a solid fanbase in just two seasons.

Sources tell TV Tonight that whilst Seven called for Auditions for a third series in August, so far it hasnít locked onto a third season.

Thatís despite solid reviews and a nomination for an International Emmy Award. The first season also attracted strong ratings, but the second suffered from multiple timeslots and a hiatus during the Olympics.

Applications close on October 30 with filming usually taking place in November / December.

The activeTV series, hosted by Grant Bowler, is every bit as good as the US version, so fingers crossed it wins a third season.

and Australiaís Got Talent disbite getting a mention at the Press Release is still not 100% confermed for a season next year. If TARAU is going down then I hope it takes AGT down too (Its because of this (bleep) that TARAU had a bad rattings for the first few episodes and brought the average down).

If TARAU win their Emmey, Odds are we will see a Season 3. If not the fate of TARAU will hang in the balance.

Lets all collectively pray the show comes back! They bring interesting destinations in Cuba ad Israel

Don't forget the strength of the cast as well.

I don't think it's looking good guys. The show costs so much to produce and ratings just weren't good enough this last season plus with all the new shows lined up in 2013 for 7 I think it's safe to say our beloved race has been replaced by another generic renovation show (House Rules?) or the cheaper to produce The Mole: Culture Clash. All they care about at this point is profit and money. So what if the race is being nominated for an international emmy? That means nothing unfortunately and realistically for us fans. It was good while it lasted

They are testing The Mole next year to see how it fares rating wise as Season 5 didn't do as well. And if it draws enough attention at the lower cost they will most probably continue it. If not then I'd say the race will be back in 2014. I am just very sure there will be no race next year but this isn't the last we've seen of it for sure!

Can't another channel take it on? Surely the makers would want it on every year, not alternating.

None of the main networks can't do anything because 7 airs TARUS and they have exlusive rights to produce TARAU. So unless 9 or 10 can find a loophole (like how 7 did celbrearty survivor) they are no use to us.

There is a slim probably unlikely chance that fox 8 (on foxtel or what you in the US call cable) could produce TAR AU as have pay tv rights over the show (I deffiatily saw the HK TAR 17 ep)but again don't count on it.

Maybe we are just overreacting and the race just wasn't mentioned in the 'highlights' because it isn't airing until late 2013 because the Mole is airing in the first half of 2013? Applications close this Tuesday so if nothing has been announced yet then I'm sure it hasn't been cancelled. The only thing which may make me seem doubtful is if Grant is announced as the host of the Mole.

Oh ok I thought they would only give the rights to a channel if they also had a contract for them to do a certain number of seasons in that period.
